The SUNY General Education Requirement (SUNY-GER) enables students to acquire knowledge and skills that are useful and important for all educated persons, regardless of their jobs or professions. (SUNY Board of Trustees Resolution, January 2010).
- In some cases, students can satisfy one of the General Education (GE) subject areas based on performance on certain standardized tests. Also, courses listed in more than one GE subject area may be used to meet the requirement for both areas with the exception of the Humanities (GE7).
- Students who fulfill two requirements with one course must still take the minimum credits of GE course work required for their degree program as explained below. Students should discuss how their program meets the SUNY-GER with their academic advisors.
- Although these requirements do not apply to AAS degrees, students in those programs should be mindful of the SUNY-GER if they plan to transfer to a SUNY four-year school, since all SUNY institutions are subject to the same general education requirements.
The General Education (GE) subject areas are:
- Mathematics (GE1)
- Natural Sciences (GE2)
- Social Sciences (GE3)
- American History (GE4)
- Western Civilization (GE5)
- Other World Civilizations (GE6)
- Humanities (GE7)
- The Arts (GE8)
- Foreign Language (GE9)
- Basic Communication (GE10)
